 By adding the juice of the morning glory vine to latex (Raw   liquid rubber) harvested from the native rubber tree they   Created balls that had great bounce.  As earlyas 1600 B.C..E, the Mesoamericans used this method to make resilient rubber balls that defied the natural brittleness of solid latex. 

 Their amalgamation could be shaped in to any conceivable form, but would harden within minutes, making it impossible to reshape the object afterward.
                 

They used this process for a variety of artifacts and produced balls of different sizes, the biggest being larger than a volleyball and weighing up to eight pounds  (3.6 kg ).These were then used in ritual ball games that had great political and religious significance.

 While modern followers of sports refer to matches as "a matter   of life and death " this was actually the case for the contestants   on central America's field and ball courts For the Mesoamericans,thegames epitomized their worldview of life as a struggle between good and evil.
